Where I burned was when using Webcats built in credit card validation. Since I'd specified which cards the site accepted, an incorrectly entered card goes to an error page that webcat creates and then invokes the back button.FWIW, I'm NOT sure this problem existed when using Webcat.acgi and the older Webstar version (which had separate web and ssl servers). We only recently switched over to version 4.1. I don't recall this problem prior to that.Elegantly put by John Butler:>Reg I assume/think this means that the last time this issue was discussed >heavily on >this list those who had not already done so reorganized their site such >that the forms >that go to SSL pages were redesigned to submit to themselves and perform >custom error >checking right on that page and then if all required fields were filled >out etc., then >they were auto-redirected on to the next page.
